SAY MY NAME - Face Recognition Attendance System

Overview

This project is Say My Name, a Face Recognition Attendance System developed using Python, OpenCV, and Firebase. It allows students to log their attendance by scanning their faces, and admins can view attendance records and generate reports.

Features

• Student Authentication: Uses face recognition to verify student identity and log attendance.
• Admin Access: Admins can log in via face recognition and view attendance records.
• Database Integration: Attendance records are stored and retrieved from Firebase.
• Real-Time Data Processing: Updates attendance data in real-time.
• Report Generation: Exports attendance data in XML and PDF formats.

Technologies Used

• Python (Face Recognition, OpenCV, Firebase Admin SDK)
• Firebase (Realtime Database, Storage)
• Google Sheets (Attendance record viewing)
• Tkinter (User Interface for role selection)
• HTML/CSS (Admin Dashboard UI)

Installation

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:
